My review

It was interesting to learn about the design process of icons in the pre-computer era. Surprisingly, it hasn’t changed much since many designers still start with pen and paper.

Even more intriguing, it was a reminder of the turbulent 80s, marked with wars, invasions, and crisis in the Cold War years.
